Very few issues in regards to WS_FTP Professional 2006 are documented on IPSwitch's Knowlegbase. However the online forum has a significant amout of communication indicating users are unhappy with this version and that several things are broken. Are people stearing away from upgrading or is it safe to upgrade? We personally do not use the product to its fullest, I have downloaded the new client and have been unable to reproduce many of the issues users are reporting. It seems to work okay.
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7/13/2005 12:38 PM >>> Go to the web site. Its not Beta, but the WSFTP Pro 9.0 wan't supposed to be and it was always crashing.. As I said before, it is WSFTP Pro 2006, which is should have been Version 10 There are many versions of WSFTP pro. 8 was very stable, 9 was buggy and crippled in usabnility and useful features in comarison, while adding som useful ones. if it didn't crash. 2006, following Microsoft logic (windows 3.1, then Windows 95) is an improvement in many areas, and broken in many others _______________________ John-Marc Ventimiglia JMVWare.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Grimard, Ronald L To: '[email protected]' Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2005 9:49 AM Subject: RE: [WS_FTP Forum] Default Directories I'm getting confused here with these numbers that your talking about. Can you tell me: Is version 2006 for the Client or the Server mgr.?? Can you tell me: Is version 9.0 for the Pro version? I have been seeing quite a bit of sour grapes about version 2006 maybe its beta release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of JMVWare Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WS_FTP Forum] Default Directories Yes, and remember how the system would remember the last sort order? Was nice to have most recently updated up top. No more. We have a very inconvenient sort order defined by who knows.... [ipswitch] I sure hope you guys are listening here, and we would love to have an explanation for this general decline in useful functionality. I do thank you for making the folder dropdowns bigger. This was a REAL pita in 9.0 _______________________ John-Marc Ventimiglia JMVWare.com 970-349-0126 _______________________ ----- Original Message ----- From: Froehlich, Mitch To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2005 7:43 AM Subject: RE: [WS_FTP Forum] Default Directories Local startup not working in 2006 version. I just thought it was me. I had loaded 9.0 on other PC & configured it for local & host start up folders fine. When I just did a 2006 install & could not get the local start up to configure, I thought I was lost. I did the same thing as workaround, created the workspaces but it is not the same or as convenient.

Sure do miss the menu option to do this in one shot. startup folders are changed by editing the site, look for startup, or in Pro 2006 you can right-click the server tab in the remote connection window, choose properties, and click on the startup link. A note of warning, if you ARE using 2006, be ready for a great dissappointment. The local startup doesn't work! Bummer. I received no info about this and tech support is tough to deal with. The way I work around this, is to create Workspaces (new feature) but then there is an annoying anomolie in that when you change the remote folder and upload, it defaults back to the original folder. Check your 'update folders' option Probably need to look closer at options, but as you said, not intuitive and annoyingly lacking of old features I really liked, like a cache of navigated folders on the local side that was persistant across restarts. Everything is trashed when you close. Real annoying in 9.0, because it was always crashing. _______________________ John-Marc Ventimiglia JMVWare.com _______________________ ----- Original Message ----- From: Robin Chapple To: WSFTP Forum-list.ipswitch.com Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2005 2:21 PM Subject: [WS_FTP Forum] Default Directories I am using WS_FTP Pro. I have failed to find the option that will open a site at the folders that I choose. I have 18 sites running and all these have been set over the last ten years. This is the first time I have had a new site with WS_FTP Pro and the option does not appear to be intuitive as it was in the past.
